I am guessing that the empty trailer weighs 2,000 lbs, 3,000 at most.

Take it to a scale at a truck stop and weight it. A truck scale will
give you your front axle, rear axle, trailer and gross combined weights
for about $10.

Great idea.

Nope, but it looks heavy. Also those are the two piece clamp type

spare of course.


It looks heavy to you because it is a tilt bed.
